After Cravens returns to practice, the Broncos will have a three-week window to either activate him to the 53-man roster or decide to keep him on injured reserve for the entire season.

Denver acquired Cravens from the Redskins in exchange for a late-round draft pick in March. He is listed as a strong safety but would likely rotate with Will Parks at the team’s “dime backer” position once healthy.

A second-round pick out of USC with the Redskins in 2016, Cravens recorded 34 tackles and one sack as a rookie. He also broke up five passes and recorded one interception. Cravens missed the entire 2017 season with post-concussion syndrome, so he is considered a second-year player.

If Cravens is activated to the 53-man roster, the Broncos will have to make a corresponding roster move.
